Dunlop to tell Flood of payments

FURTHER details about payments of up to £5,000 made by Frank Dunlop to councillors in return for alleged planning favours on lands at Carrickmines are expected to emerge at the Flood Tribunal today.

Mr Dunlop was yesterday described as a “self-confessed perjurer” by lawyers for one of the nine past and serving members of Dublin County Council. The councillors allegedly received payments from the former Government press secretary in relation to lands owned at Carrickmines by Jackson Way Properties.

However, an application by lawyers for former Fine Gael TD Liam Cosgrave to have access to all documents relating to allegations made by Mr Dunlop was refused by the three-person tribunal.
